Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state has called on investors to come and invest in Abia State as he has restored the lost glory of Aba and Abia State in general.
Ikpeazu made the call at Aba during the official commissioning of Real 99.1 FM , a radio station founded by Uche Ogbuagu, a popular entertainment personality and member representing Ikeduru State Constitutuency in Imo State House of Assembly. The Governor used the opportunity to inform Aba residents that his government is committed to fixing Aba roads.
He disclosed that Setraco company would construct such roads as Portharcourt Road, Ngwa Road, Uratta Road among others saying that the drainages in Portharcourt Road have so far been done waiting for main construction work by dry season, as rainy season is not the best time of constructing roads.

The Governor assured that he would maintain the quality of roads being done in the State, revealing that the Umuola Road, where the radio station is located was built in his first tenure with Cement Pavement Technology and had lasted without portholes. He appreciated Uche Ogbuagu for coming back to invest in Aba, where he started life and urged the station to operate in accordance with NBC regulations.
Chibuike Nwokeukwu, the Charman of the occasion, in his speech advised the management of Real FM to abide by the rules and regulations guiding broadcasting in Nigeria. He equally enjoined all to be serious with whatever they do for a living, adding that the owner of the station, Ogbuagu had been known to be serious and committed in his entertainment business.
Nwokeukwu expressed hope that Ogbuagu would excel the more especially in opening a TV station.
Also speaking, the Founder, Ideal Media Independent Broadcasting Networks and owner of the station, Ogbuagu commended the Governor for promoting the ‘can do spirit’ of the Aba man and his aggressive promotion of the ‘Made in Aba’ products. He assured that Real FM would publicize the programmes and activities of the Governor and government of Abia State
Ogbuagu, who informed the Governor that the only challenge of Aba people was bad road network, commended him for the ones done so far and expressed hope that the Governor would tackle the remaining road problems during the dry season.
Michael Okebe earlier in an address on behalf of the management Board, said the station was poised to put Aba and Abia State on the first page of entertainment, news and sports among other programmes.
